Kane, Jeff Hardy, Top WWE Stars To TNA, Wrestling Boom

I think Kane should be deserving of ending the Undertaker's streak. He made a career as his brother in a character that was only supposed to last a few months. He is a steady, solid worker who never really held championship gold. It would solidify him in the Hall of Fame. What are your thoughts?

There are a lot of Kane fans such as yourself that feel Kane should assume such a role, but it's very unlikely to happen. WWE sees Kane as an upper mid card talent. They like his size and have given him main event roles from time-to-time, but he's never been pushed as "the guy". I tend to upset Kane fans when I talk about this as I feel Kane is an upper mid card talent and do not feel he has what it takes to become a top WWE superstar. I think WWE has used him properly over the years and would personally be very disappointed if WWE booked him to go over The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. With that being said, there are no plans to do such an angle.

What is really the reason why Jeff Hardy was released from WWE? Will he comeback to WWE before Wrestlemania?

Jeff Hardy didn't get released from WWE, the company actually wanted him to sign a new contract, but he left under his own terms. Jeff was burned out and wanted to spend time at home with his significant other - Beth Britt. Whether or not Jeff Hardy returns at Wrestlemania depends completely on his legal situation. We'll know much more once it is determined if Hardy will face trial on drug charges. That will be determined at a hearing on January 27th.

Do you think that there is a chance that Randy Orton and/or John Cena will ever go to TNA?

There's always a chance in the future, but I do not see that happening the way things currently stand. Both Randy Orton and John Cena are held in high regard by WWE officials and are paid very well. If TNA becomes competition to WWE, things could obviously change in the future.

If things go TNA's way and they become serious competition to WWE, do you see another wrestling boom like in the late 90's?

Everyone is hoping for another wrestling boom like there was in the 90s. Not only would the business benefit from it but this website would benefit as well. We as wrestling fans are long overdue some competition, so almost everyone is hoping that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are able to have success with TNA Wrestling. The business was stagnant over the last decade with Vince McMahon in complete control. Competition would help everyone, including WWE.
